Anand Rathi Wealth shareholders have today (Tuesday) as their final opportunity to purchase shares and qualify for the company's 1:1 bonus issue. According to reports from The Economic Times and ET Now, the company has set June 3 (Wednesday) as the record date for the bonus issue, making today the last trading day for investors to buy shares and be eligible for the bonus shares. As per ET Now, investors must buy the company's shares today and have those shares at least one trading day before the record date to ensure they are credited to their demat accounts by the record date. Only shareholders who own Anand Rathi Wealth shares in their demat accounts as of the record date will receive the bonus shares. The company has also announced that bonus shares will be credited to eligible shareholders' demat accounts on or before June 7, providing investors with a clear timeline for the corporate action implementation.
The company will utilize ₹41.51 crore from its free reserves to implement the bonus issue, as reported by The Economic Times. At the end of Q3 FY26, Anand Rathi Wealth maintained free reserves worth more than ₹950.22 crore. The bonus shares will be issued from retained earnings, securities premium account, or capital redemption reserve account available as of March 31, 2026. The bonus shares will rank paripassu with existing fully paid-up equity shares and carry the same rights, with no dividend distribution implications. The credit process typically takes 7-15 working days from the record date, and investors can track the status of their bonus shares through their Choice Demat account.
According to The Economic Times, Anand Rathi Wealth reported strong Q4 FY26 results with a 40.5% profit jump and significant AUM growth, which is driving the company to capitalize on its reserves for this bonus issue.

The bonus shares will be credited to eligible shareholders' demat accounts on or before June 7, providing investors with a clear timeline for the corporate action implementation. This bonus issue is considered a sign of strong financial health and growth prospects, though it increases the total number of outstanding shares without changing market capitalisation.
